ASP can execute, but it will execute at the server because ASP is server- side.
Change the *WWW Service* to allow it to interact with the desktop, and set the IIS web that is hosting the ASP page to a Low Process so things are executed as SYSTEM, not IUSR_<MACHINE_NAME>. That will allow for things to execute. There's also a COM add-in for IIS called ASPExecute that make executing things a little easier, but you still have to follow the above steps. -----Original Message----- From: "Steven D.
